I want to support smaller publishers that make a point of hiring people who don't always get their voice heard at other publishers. But I hate how this crowd funding has been handled. We have been left in the dark on everything and ignored. I don't want to make a public stink on their twitter, where they actually respond to people, because I don't want to damage a brand that seems to want to do good. But I can safely say that I don't think I will crowd funding another of their books. There is no excuse. Even if they decided to finally show up and explain, it would be the same tired excuses about being a small company and busy. But this is a $200,000 project that has just been left to stew. It would have taken so little to give updates beyond "Production continues" To be clear, I don't care about the length of time. Shit happens. I care that you took our money and just decided we were not worth communicating with anymore. Crowdfunding is built on trust and community. I am glad you have had so much success with your other projects that you felt this one didn't need your attention. I am sure it won't actually impact your company, I am small potatoes and I probably one of the few that were annoyed enough to take note. But I am sad that my enthusiasm for this product and this company was so quickly sapped by the poor handling of this.
